Title: Torpedo pusher photos & dimensions
Post by: Karen D. on December 22, 2009, 01:57:01 PM

Here are the photos and dimensions for the torpedo pusher for anyone who is interested. I meant to post these sooner, but I've been busy painting/cleaning the sub. Plus I was waiting for HVAC to get fixed so I wouldn't get hypothermia!

Hope the measurements are ok...not exactly my Strong point. If anyone wants better pictures or measurements, just let me know!

Thats interesting, it is different than ours which may indicate they were made by tenders or the boats themselves.
Thanks Karen.
I will have to get a beter photo of ours.

This pusher looks a little different than the one in the forward torpedo room of the Silversides in Muskegon.  Were these used routinely 'cause I've never seen one in any of the torpedo room video?  Charley Roesch

Here are a couple of photos of our pusher, notice the difference in the ends of the legs.

This is great for the Batfish too as we made a few discoveries this past year...
